With just days before the US presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are making their final push for votes, focusing on key battleground states.

Harris, aiming to secure a historic victory, will spend Monday campaigning exclusively in Pennsylvania, a state with 19 electoral votes that could be crucial to her chances. She will target working-class areas, including Allentown, and will cap off the day with a rally featuring Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey. Harris has consistently pitched her campaign as a movement for “freedom” and “joy,” contrasting her approach with Trump’s perceived negativity and “revenge” tactics.

Trump, meanwhile, will hold four rallies in three battleground states: Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. His campaign is focused on issues like immigration and the economy, often framing his opponents as “enemies from within.”

On Sunday, Trump repeated allegations of voter fraud in Pennsylvania, raising concerns about his acceptance of the election results. He suggested that Democrats are trying to “steal” the election, despite no evidence to support these claims. He also mocked his supporters, urging them to vote or risk being considered “stupid.”

Early voting is surging, with over 75 million Americans already casting their ballots as of Sunday, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab. The election itself is scheduled for November 5th, with polling booths expected to be open by 6 am EST. The results are expected to be announced on November 6th, though delays are possible in close swing states.

Meanwhile, the global financial markets are closely watching the election. The dollar weakened and US Treasury yields fell after recent polls indicated Harris is gaining ground. This suggests investors are becoming less confident in a Trump victory, which could have implications for the US economy and international relations.

In a final twist, residents of Harris’ ancestral village in India are preparing for a special prayer on election day at a local temple, hoping for a successful outcome for their “daughter of the land.”
